The Haenyeo of Jeju Island spend hours in the sea without breathing equipment (Credit: Hyungchan Kim/ CC-BY-SA-4.0/ Wikipedia Commons

The Haenyeo, or "sea women," of South Korea's Jeju Island are famous for their incredible diving skills. These women spend several hours underwater each day collecting sea urchins, abalone, and other seafood. They dive almost 60 feet (18 m) into frigid waters without an oxygen tank. Remarkably, many continue this demanding work well into their 80s.
